[Building Sakai] Implement CourseManagementService ???

[Phuc Bui]

Thanks a lot John,

As I said , I do not know about Quartz and getting lost in implementing
CourseManagementService :(

When I tried Sakai demo data, I found something strange, such as users who
enrolled in the course may not be a Sakai users ??? So those users have to
register to Sakai system and to that course site , don't they?

So I want to do them all by a tool.

But I do not know what I'm thinking is right or not, so I need your
suggestion :)

 

Thanks for your helps.

You can do all that with the SiteService.  I'm not sure why you want it to
be a tool?  Is there some sort of UI you are imaging?  Sakai's has a job
scheduler built on top of quartz.  If you don't have a UI, its a lot easier
to use that mechanism to simply schedule your job (nightly, hourly,
whatever) which could then create the sites and memberships for you
automatically.

Dear,

Unluckily, we do not very good at web services and do not know about Quartz
:(

I think implementation CourseManagementService is quite complex to us. Now I
do not know how to implement ???

So I am considering a way to write a tool for admin that's responsible for :

-          Create a course site with data given by external database
(academic term, course information.).

-          After creating a course site, we add users to that site (all
students and instructors will be registered as Sakai users before).

I think the advantage of that way is that: instructors do not worry about
how to create a course site, everything is done automatically. They just
enter website and choose their course site then do their job.

 

So I would like to ask whether it is possible or not ?

If it is, which API can be used to create a course site, and add available
Sakai users to a course site ?

 

Thanks for your replies,
